Monomyth

It's like Dark Messiah meets D&D dungeon crawling.

Monomyth feels old school in the best way possible. It's a "first-person dungeon-crawling RPG" and the comparisons to games like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic and others of that era are accurate. It was heavily inspired by them after all. You could probably add immersive sim onto that too. Really does make me feel like I am playing something like Dark Messiah, but it isn't just a copycat, it's a fresh iteration on a familiar friend. Fun combat, rewarding exploration and puzzles, good characters and story, a very well designed map... there's really almost nothing to complain about. Currently my only major complaint is no cloud save. It drives me nuts when games don't include this, and I really hope the developer will add it at some point. The only other complaint isn't anything major, it's just sort of.... odd? There are zero women in the game. Not in the bar, not on the street, not in a house, not at the church, not in a store, not at the barracks.... lots of NPCs, all males. It is not a big deal to me, it's just strange. I didn't think much of it until I got to the city. Supposedly the dev will make a playable female, but no clue about NPCs. [b](EDIT: I have found o…

Mash of Elder Scrolls and Ultima: Underground in the good way! At this stage, character customization is already very enjoying with diversity of combat style, stealth, and spells. The world is still rather empty but the potential of a great world building can be felt.

this game scratches a certain itch, I love the immersive sim aspect of things, could be even more objects to interact with and toss imo. lots of rocks and bricks laying around unused Im just saying. I would love to be able to have a spell catalyst and a sword equipped at the same time too that would be sick for that true battlemage feel. the game is sick and it has real big potential if the devs do right by it. highly recommend

I had a lot of fun with this game, even though it's still unfinished. However, it's been three months since the last update on the test branch, and nothing has happened. The developer talks about a lot of different things on Twitter, but rarely about the game itself. I'm starting to worry that it may never be finished. I'd recommend waiting for a potential 1.0 release instead of buying it now and being left in the dark for months, or even years.

This game is really scratching that Dungeon Crawler Itch. I look forward to future updates, hopefully with some better instructions on how to perform some of the original mechanics, like setting Magic spells.
